Watching a film is an investment. Each time we go to the cinema we part with our fifteen dollars, sit in a darkened space and engage in a personal relationship with the screen. In the space of two hours we open up and allow ourselves to laugh, cry, even scream. We invest in a film in the hope that it will engage us from beginning to end, taking us on a journey. Whether a film saddens, excites or angers, it is the intention of the filmmaker to affect the audience by spinning a tale, determining that journey. Filmmakers are modern-day storytellers. When they weave their stories well they flow effortlessly and seamlessly from the moment the lights dim to when the credits roll. The art of storytelling in film is the deliberate layering of complimentary elements designed to mask the craft of filmmaking and give supremacy to character and story.
